The Beginning

Hello fellow Pretty Little Liars Obsessers!

My name is Megan, and I have been a fan of ABC Family's Pretty Little Liars since Episode 1. I had heard about the books through a friend in high school, but didn't have time to get involved in what seemed to be an intense and crazy series at the time of introduction. Boy am I glad I waited until I had more time on my hands to really sit and get engrossed in this series.

Now, when ABC Family first introduced this series, I was a bit skeptical: How can a family network create such a dark, disturbing series based around a murder and a missing body, and still keep it family-friendly, yet intriguing enough that it keeps us hooked and on our toes waiting for the next episode? Quite simple: bring amazing writers together who know how to keep things under control, and bring Marlene King into the mix.

This series has captivated me up until the very end of Season 3A, which just ended one short week ago. It seems like it's been too long already, and I'm certainly hooked on the new web series Pretty Dirty Secrets that's currently airing between now and the Halloween Special. While it does keep the Pretty Little Liars withdrawals at bay, it brings up so many more questions and brings together so many more scenarios, that one's mind could explode from all of the thoughts and theories!

My mother, whom I love dearly, has put the lid on my Pretty Little Liars obsession and refuses to hear more of my theories and crazy ideas, not to mention all of the wheels that are turning in my head putting things together from the past 2.5 seasons. She doesn't share my love of Pretty Little Liars, so she has finally got me to write a blog to engross my feelings and thoughts into. Why I haven't started this blog sooner I shall never know, but I am excited to start this journey and bring this blog to an epic height!

I'm sure you're all wondering how I'm going to go about writing this blog...

Well, the truth is, it'll hopefully be chronological, and logical, and full of intrigue, questions, and theories! My plan is to start with Season 1 and work my way to Season 3. I also plan to include the web series Pretty Dirty Liars into the mix as well. I know this may seem like I'm going backwards, and it's crazy to do this because we're already going in to Season 3B soon, but I feel like if I re-watch the series from Episode 1, blog about my experience re-watching it and compare it with how I remember originally feeling about the episode, I'll be able to catalog every detail of this series and find all of the missing clues that have brought us to this moment in time we are currently in in Rosewood History.

I also currently have the first four novels of Pretty Little Liars in my possession and plan to add the comparison to the novels into the mix as well. Basically what I'm doing is taking everything that Pretty Little Liars is about, throwing it into a blog, and documenting my theories, my questions, my intrigues, and my complete experience as being a Pretty Little Liars Obsesser.

I hope that many of you will read and enjoy my blog, and I hope that you all will take and share this journey with me! I very much encourage everyone's comments and theories, so please don't hesitate to comment and share your Pretty Little Liars Obsession! I look forward to reading and responding to each and every one of you, and I will certainly make a blog post after my initial entry has been made, responding to each and every one of you, so be sure to check back often and check for my response entries as well!

As this entry comes to a close, I am already excited to the brim about sharing this experience and seeing what everyone else has to say. Talk to you soon!
